Language can permeate every part of life in the community. It can be in the workplace, at home, in the car or the store, and it can be used for business, entertainment and everyday life. There is no doubt the language we use is influential in who we are and how we think. Currently, our Northern Tutchone language has fallen into disuse. We don’t use it because we don’t know it, and we don’t know it because there are no apparent benefits. To re-awaken the language, we have to teach it and make it a viable option, and then we have to follow that with the motivation to learn and use the language. What remains is how much we choose to use Northern Tutchone or English. FNNND is promoting the learning and use of language through several initiatives. These include:
Instruction at the JV Clark School and the Daycare
Adult language classes in the evenings
The use of Northern Tutchone on printed materials and documents
A Northern Tutchone Camp Phrase Mini Book
Northern Tutchone Flashcards
